The only rule for this is that this HAS to be taken by yourself (no cheating!) using timer for example - though I can think of a few other creative ways which could be used...
This is also a good excuse to update your avatar on the forum too!

The sandals fell apart last year. Perhaps they were suffering from altitude sickness.

A good number of entries here, thanks all for entering. This is the first time I've had to judge a photography competition so bear with me! I hope you don't find my comments too harsh
Mike
Really like the idea behind this. Perhaps cropped a little tightly and would like to have seen the whole sphere.
John
Like the poweful expression and the novel idea of taking a picture of your editing - we all know how you did it now!
Bazzasmeg
I'm afraid the wonky horizon spoils this for me a bit. Like the colours of the evening sun and the moon.
Ruth
Another good idea though think this may have been a bit stronger without the shadows on the left of the picture.
Redshanksnapper
I really like this. One of the best uses of this type of photoshop filter I have seen and in context too. Well thought out and executed. To be hypercritical I would have used a harder light on the photo of your back and photoshopped the "shadow" a little harder too.
Sue
I'm not a fan of the "posterisation" type processing on this I'm afraid.
Sunsworth
Not really working for me as a self portrait.
BernyM
Clever idea Berny - you broke the mirror taking your photo?
Pam
Nice lighting and crop though not quite what I consider a portrait.
Mark
Like the use of light - the blown out shoulder doesn't bother me at all in this context and feel it adds to the image.
Len
You're a braver man than me posting this
Keith
Interesting eyedea though I feel this is more "digital art" rather than portrait.
oakeycoke
The rather large shadow of your nose is distracting and not convinced of the HDR effect on a portrait.
